    Good night from Israel.
    I have a set of 46 small beautiful advertising cards.
    Each one has a picture of posting in a different country and 4 printings of used stamps.
    I couldn't find any information on the net.
    Could someone give me a clue?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    What you have there look like (in German) Sammelbilder, or chromos. There's a category chromos in old paper on Delcampe.
    In this case it's for Herrmann, a soap factory.
    Hundreds, if not thousands of companys handed these out from the late 1800's up until right before WWII (in most cases with matching albums for poeple to be able to try to get a complete collection).
    The company which brought these into fashion in the 1890's was Stollwerck, a chocolate factory. (you'll find some of their chromos on Delcampe)
    The most known are those from Liebig (Oxo), you'll probably find a lot of them on Delcampe.
